They don't adjust enough to cover the top of the screen, and fitting them is fiddly.

Personally, I wouldn't bother again.

Fitted to mine... no mot issues :y

When stationary they are a bit low, but on the move they work just fine :y

They use less screen wash though, and cover the screen much better, with less dry wiping. :o

I found with mine, they wouldn't quite clear the edge of the scuttle without some modification.
